If you turn over your machine you should see two small holes. Hopefully, the one that is still attached can be seen from this angle. The one that came out should have one end of spring go through one of those holes.there should be a tiny bar that goes through one end of the spring and rests across the hole keeping that end of the spring securely in hole
You need to use a darning presser foot--there are several designs of darning feet made by Bernina or generic brands (be sure the generic model has the appropriate attachment for your particular Bernina). You can find metal or plastic, clear or solid foot, open or closed toe, spring-loaded hopper or not, etc. Drop the feed dogs. If it is thinner fabric (lighter weight than denim), it sometimes helps to put the fabric in an embroidery hoop (upside down with the fabric next to the needle plate). If the hole is small, you can use the little hoop that should have been included in your Bernina accessory kit. Then you manually move the fabric back & forth, up & down under the presser foot while stitching.
Foot rest? Are you referring to the foot control unit or a presser foot? If it is presser foot, most likely you do not have the correct presser foot for your machine. Search the internet for the "make model presser foot" (substitute make & model with your machine make & model). There are basically 3 presser foot styles--low, high & slant. They are not interchangeable.
If you are talking about the foot control, sometimes you can find other foot control units for your machine, possibly even generic units.
It sounds like you are trying to attach a walking foot to your machine. Usually when you install your waling foot the needle clamp screw pushes against the lever. This lever is spring loaded. To avoid fighting the spring you can lower the needle into the hole on the walking foot and then attach the foot to the ankle.
when you press the button hole option & then pull the button hole lever down it will rest against the button hole foot, having the button in the button hole foot help the machine gage the size the button hole needs to be, if the machine keeps on sewing & doesn't stop automaticily then there is something wrong with the button hole option.
The part with the metal that has the little holes in it will slide in from the back just under the stich plate. Push that all the way in and it will spring out about a mm. And the other part is just the presser foot, put in on just like a normal foot.
hope this helps
This is a comon problem with the pfaff 7570. The spring that applys the presser to the foot is all gumed up and needs to be removed cleaned and lubricated. I dont know if you want to try this yourself. You will need to remove the top and side covers and upper tension unit. Can be tricky. A pfaff repair shop should charge around $30. I will go over the steps if you want, let me know. But like i said i can be tricky.
When installing the walking foot, you must make sure that the arm that moves up and down is resting on the needle clamp screw. That arm controls the movement of the foot and that allows it to do its "walking" if it is not resting on the needle clamp then it will not work at all.
Make sure you have pull down the arm that will engage the button hole mechaizm. Put a button in the back of you button hole foot, attach foot, reach up on the left side just below the light and pull the lever down, choose the button hole , lower tension to 3 and sew out the button hole. The button hole foot should push on the arm when it gets to the end and complete the rest of the button hole. If the columns do not match then it has to be serviced by a husqvarna dealer.

WE FIXED IT!!!!! Ok my fabulous husband fixed my automatic thread foot last night and now I am sewing away. Here is what he did best I can describe. when you engage the thread shuttle, a piece comes down from the right of the sewing machine. I has a spring on the back and a very thin piece of wire with a white plastic moving part. the foot has to snap under the white plastic thing... so you have to very carefully take the white thing out of the track and then put the foot in. the bar side with the larger metal pin goes here and the foot should be facing towards the needle. Hope this helps and if I didn;t explain it well please leave me a note and I will try again :)
